Help finding similar fonts

FindingFonts

Hi everyone. I have been searching and search for fonts like this and it's been pretty difficult. So, I come here for your expertise. I apologize in advance if I am not good at explaining/wording things.

The best font I've found thus far is Galapagos BRK

http://www.allfreefonts.com/font-539-galapogos_brk.html

More specifically, I am using the word "know" in all lowercase:

http://www.allfreefonts.com/custom-thumb.html?d=539&fontfilename=galapog...

The features that appeal to me are:

1. Sans-serif

2. No flags on letters like "n" (or whatever that straight part extending on the top left of the letter is called)

3. All letters follow the "n" form. So, the "w" is like a double upside down "n" and the bottom of the "k" is "n" as well. The "o" is basically 2 "n" against one another, although I am more lenient on the "o" not following suit perfectly (as long as it flows).

4. This goes along with #2 but basically 99% of all fonts have the "k" and "w" as sharp. Instead of the "k" looking like an "h" they have 2 straight lines making them up. The "w" ends up looking like double "v" rather than a double "u" and it kills it.

5. Something bold please. It'll be used for a logo

6. If it were free for commercial use... that'd be great. If not, at least inexpensive to buy with a license that allows me to use the lettering for a logo.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your question is a little open ended, but maybe this will help narrow your search a little. Identifont.com allows you to search typefaces by similarity (although it seems to not have Galapagos BKR in its database. However, you can also search by appearance. This can be helpful as well.

I tried searching by appearance, and recieved these results.

I also searched for a font in the same family (from the above search, called Timberlake), and recieved these results.

If any of these are closer, you can go back and plug them into "Fonts by Similarity.
